nothing makes me wish i had some variety of acme ray gun blaster more than when someone almost hits me on a pedestrian sidewalk on a motorized scooter/ebike easily doing 15+ mph on their phone/headphones/doesnt move or even be aware of actual people walking on the sidewalk around them. where pedestrians are going to be. where pedestrians are supposed to be.

#we've had a high number of fatalities from motorized scooters/ebikes hitting pedestrians on sidewalks this year #and it makes me livid #ive almost been pancaked by one basically on a weekly basis #to the point where im making this post bc sure enough it happened again TODAY #what sucks is this happens in places with all three paths and good bike infrastructure #theres a legal road for motorized vehicles a proper bike lane and a sidewalk for pedestrians clearly and well maintained #but the motorbikes somehow always end up on the sidewalk bc its got less traffic and they can ride faster w/o speed bumps #and fellas #i want to attack them with a branch im willing to even testify that in court #bc again they hit and killed 3 people locally just over summer
